MSP for Midlothian North Colin Beattie
Written by Midlothian View Reporter, Liam Eunson
Colin Beattie MSP for Midlothian North’s first action since being re-elected was to formally request a walk-in GP centre for his constituents.
Commenting SNP MSP Colin Beattie said:
“Throughout the campaign period, improving GP access was consistently raised. The public are excited by the idea of the SNPs policy to end the 8am rush by expanding the walk-in GP trial.
“Existing services in Midlothian are already under pressure and with Midlothian being the fastest growing local authority in Scotland this must be exacerbated.
“I believe this should make Midlothian North a priority location for a walk-in GP centre
“As the constituency’s representative at the Scottish Parliament I have written to the Scottish Government requesting that a new walk-in centre is opened in Midlothian North as soon as possible.”
